Of 1,050 randomly selected adults, 360 identified themselves as manual laborers, 280 identified themselves as non-manual wage ea

rners, 250 identified themselves as mid-level managers, and 160 identified themselves as executives. In the survey, 82% of manual laborers preferred trucks, 62% of non-manual wage earners preferred trucks, 54% of mid-level managers preferred trucks, and 26% of executives preferred trucks.
Construct a 95% confience interval for the percentage of executives that preferred trucks. ( I know for sure that the answer is +or- 6.82%, but I need to know how to get this.)

Answer:

We can claim with 95% confidence that the proportion of executives that prefer trucks is between 19.2% and 32.8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a sample of executives, of size n=160, and the proportion that prefer trucks is 26%.

We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the proportion.

The sample proportion is p=0.26.

 

The standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.26*0.74}{160}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0012}=0.0347

The critical z-value for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=1.96 \cdot 0.0347=0.068

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.26-0.068=0.192\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.26+0.068=0.328

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.192, 0.328).

We can claim with 95% confidence that the proportion of executives that prefer trucks is between 19.2% and 32.8%.

a copy shot prints 5,493 pages they use the pages to make 68 same size booklets about how many pages are in each booklet
Aliun [14]

Answer:

80 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of pages printed = 5493

Number of booklets made = 68

Let each booklet use 'x' pages.

So, pages used by 68 booklets is given by unitary method and is equal to:

=68\times x\\=68x

Now, total number of pages are 5493.

Therefore, the pages used by the 68 booklets should be less than or equal to the total number of pages available. So,

68x=5493\\\textrm{Dividing both sides by 68,we get:}\\x=\frac{5493}{68}=80.8\approx 80(\textrm{As number of pages can't be in decimal})

Therefore, the number of pages in each booklet is 80.

prisoha [69]
X| 1 | 15 | 225 |
y| 4 |  ?  | 900 |

\dfrac{y}{x}=const.

therefore

[tex]\dfrac{4}{1}=4;\ \dfrac{900}{225}=4;\ \dfrac{?}{15}=4\to?=60[\tex]

Answer: ? = 60
